My sisters boyfriend slapped her across the face at a cookout with our family, and I knocked him out on our front lawn. My sister is upset with me, but I feel like I’m completely justified. AITA

NTA but give her grace. People who are being abused aren’t necessarily thinking clearly at the time. I think she will come to appreciate that you wanted to protect her

You are absolutely justified but she will likely defend him. It’s nothing personal, it’s just likely not the first time he has hit her and she had to find ways to keep going which typically excuses his actions towards her. You need to be patient with her and continue to be firm with him.

nta— completely justified but coming from a woman she probably feels embarrassed that 1. he did that in front of people 2. that she knows it’s not okay for him to do that 3. she might worry he could retaliate for it

Don’t argue with her about it or get upset, it will only make her feel less comfortable with coming to you about things like this in the future. Talk to her softly and just ask questions. Dont make demands or give any ultimatums and don’t try to force her to leave (unless you believe he’s going to try to kill her soon) because it will ultimately likely make her cut contact with you and the family (you can still encourage her to leave but not forcefully)

You should call the domestic violence hotline honestly. They can help provide you with resources on how to handle this and help her leave. They might even have support groups for people close to DV victims

If he retaliates back, he gets his ass knocked out again, simple

Why does this sound almost victim blame-y?
